“…Such a heroic depiction undermined the heterogeneity of prison-related experiences, removed signs of weakness', and masked the coping strategies adopted by men on the inside and women on the outside (Dowler, 1998;Shirlow and McEvoy, 2008). Without doubt, the partners of political prisoners generally supported the republican movement, but the static notions of coherence and solidarity eclipsed the equally important (3) This phenomenon is not unique to Northern Ireland and scholars have addressed the gendering of war in South Africa, Namibia, Israel, Palestine, Croatia, and Peru (Brock-Utne, 1989;Cock, 1990;Enloe, 2000, Mayer, 1994, Radcliffe and Westwood, 1993Sharoni, 1992;Zarkov, 2001).

“…At the same time, the role of women in the West Bank and Gaza should not be dismissed, and they formed women's centres in the West Bank and Gaza as they sought to create new 'spaces' that challenged traditional roles and assumptions of women's place in Palestinian society. They took on important political and economic roles during the Intifada, both in the mobilization of power and in taking over the economic role of the males, many of whom were in Israeli prisons (Hilterman 1991 ;Mayer 1994). Moreover, 40% of the registered students at universities and other institutions of higher education in the West Bank are women (World Bank 1993, vol 6).…”

The current Israel-Palestine peace process is expected to result in a final territorial solution and the ultimate formation of a separate Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. By all definitions, such a state would be small in terms of its population size, its areal extent, and its economic capacity. Given existing conditions, a West Bank and Gaza state would suffer from problems of structural scarcity as experienced by many other small states. This would be exacerbated were the boundaries of the new state with Israel to be closed, thus severing existing economic links. Drawing on models of small state behaviour, this paper studies the possible ways in which a West Bank and Gaza state could overcome these structural deficiencies in both the short and long-terms, including full and independent control of the state's resources, investment in industrial andconstruction infrastructure, and through becoming an important regional and global gateway for the Arab world as a whole. Les pourparlers actuels visant la negotiation d'un trait6 de paix entre /'Israel et la Palestine meneront vraisemblablement 2 une solution territoriale d6finitive qui sera mani-fest6e par la crgation d'un &at palestinien ind6pendant. Cet @tat cornprendrait la Rive Gauche et le territoire de Gaza. Par definition, il s'agirait d'un &at dont la population, la superficie et les moyens de production seraient modestes. Etant donne' les conditions actuelles, le nouvel Ctat comprenant la Rive Gauche et le territoire de Gaza, tout comme les autres &tats de petite taille, ferait face d des dgficiences structurelies. Si la fronti&re entre le nouvel &at et Israel &ait fermge, ce qui aurait pour effet de rompre les liens 6conomiques actuels, ces dgficiences se feraient davantage sentir. Ce travail se propose #examiner, d I'aide de moddes portant sur le fonctionnementdes &tats de petite taille, les strat6gies visant d pallier ces dbficiences, d court terme comme d long terrne. Les stratggies d I'6tude comprennent: (a) la prise de contrble totale des ressources du nouvel &at par son gouvernement indbpendant, (b) I'am6nagement d'infrastructures dans les domaines de I'industrie et de la construction par des investissements dans ces domaines et (c) la mise en valeur du nouvel &tat comme porte d'entr6e rggionale et globale vers /'ensemble du rnonde arabe.

“…A growing body of seminal works has begun the process of critical reflection on the relationship between gender and national security in Israel (Emmett, 1996;Kandiyoti, 1996;Palestine-Israel Journal, 1995;Sharoni, 1995;Mayer, 1994;Azmon and Izraeli, 1993;Bernstein, 1992;Swirsky and Safir, 1991). A major theme of this literature is the fundamental contradiction in Israeli society between the myth of gender equality and the reality of women's marginalization.…”
